Description

Effective training of lay people in cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) is recognised as an important contributor to increased survival
rates from cardiac arrest. However, owing to high risk of COVID-19, it is
currently recommended to refrain from traditional instructor-led
resuscitation training. As an alternative, individual self-directed
learning is advisable [1]. Self-instruction programs utilising video or
on-line learning with synchronous or asynchronous hands-on practice
were shown to be at least as effective as classroom training both in
producing necessary skills and improving willingness of trainees to
attempt CPR.
For practicing resuscitation skills in individual environment, a
manikin is required. Whereas simplified inflatable CPR manikins suitable
for home use are currently available on market, a need to spend
time and money to buy the manikin may limit motivation to initiate or
complete the training. An interesting option for those who want to get a
dummy right away and at no cost is the creation of a homebrew manikin.
